THE COUNTY BOND

Bill was passed on the 18th, was
signed by the Governor on the 10th
and reached this county on the 22d.
Such dispatch, such haste was never
known before. We now understand,
the court is to meet to-day for the
purpose of carrying ont this law.
Why this haste? Is there a rea-
son for it? Is there an effort to rush
this matter through before the court
has time to reflect what it is doing?
Do the parties interested fear dis
cussion? Do they want the court to
act before taxpayers find out what
is foot? Has trap been set?
Gentlemen of the court, we know
you do not wish to do wrong. We
warn YOU to 90 slow. Unless a trap
has been set, ten days delay can do
no harm. A blunder will distress
the county. You arc about to deal
with a matter which is outside Of
your personal experience. 1t in
wolves $I2O,50O Is it not wise to
consider and consult over a matter
of this magnitude?
The interest on the bonds funded
by Baker ($ll6,9OO) is payable on
the lst of April. Ifthe interest on
the bonds funded by Amman ($120,-
50O) is made payable semi-annually,
then the sheriff must collect $S,S57.-
80 for the April interest and only
$3,012.50 for the interest to be due
in October. This interest should
be divided and half he paid in April
and half in October.
Again. If coupons he tax receiv-
able, this county may become tied
up in the United States courts as
Virginia is now tied upland and
foot. There is no obligation on US
70 make the coupons a legal tender
for taxes, and If there is time for
discussion we believe il will not be
done.
Again. These new bonds will be
worth a large premium. Why pay
$3OO-why pay anything for refund
ing, when the holders Of the Amman
bonds are offered bond worth in
the market much more than the
ones they now holdY They can be
funded without a penny Of expense.
Gentlemen, 90 slow. Hasty action
may greatly depreciate the $ll6,9OC
of bonds negotiated by Baker. We

Chas. Alexander, a colored boy
of Bolivar, having kindled fire in a
stove, last Wednesday, by aid
of coal oil, thoughtlessly
placed the can containing oil so near
the fire as to cause it to ignite. The
can bursted and the boy was envel-
oped in flames, and before assistance
reached him was burnt so badly that
he died two days later.-Spirit.

Seeming Intoxicntion.

In no class OF people does heredity do
a more disastrous work than in tho de-
sccndants OF drinkers whether excessive
or moderate. A morbid appetite for

forms. Among these many forms arc

cases not uncommon. In some persons

indications Of physical degeneration as
idlocy, imbccilty or bodily deformity.
In second class Of cases, almost any
excitement is sufficient to bring on an
attack. This class may include persons
